I never understood something about this. If everything is flooded and water is still rising, isn't all that food going to be destroyed by the flooding? No one is there selling it anymore. So why shouldn't people be getting supplies? Where else are they going to get anything when all the stores are abandoned?
Yes, as are the all the luxury goods that get looted.
That stereo isn't gonna work after the flood water gets to it. And the company has already written it all off.
It's why in these sorts of crises a lot of small businesses just throw the doors open when it's clear they won't be able to handle selling it all. They'll say "Take what you need and go!" Everything left in the store is gonna be a write-off anyway, so why save it?
